LWDT V: Completing the Five Thread Plan

[Democratic Communist Federation]

It depends. The recently DEATed Aillyria was a Sufi Muslim, UMN is an Orthodox Christian, and Professor is a Bahá'í. I'm personally agnostic and don't hate religion simply because it's religion.

The first two are firmly right wingers

Me? No, I am a libertarian communist, not a right-winger.

Disregard. I missed the part about the first two. Sorry, grading finals always exhausts me.

[Kvatchdom]

So, I take it people here don't like religion?

Well, you are left wing.

I like religion. This expectation is just silly.

Okay, but they're still "people here."

[Cekoviu]

Depends how you define right-wing. Like me, they generally supported left-wing economics and right-wing social views.

You could kind of say something similar about me, while not socially conservative, I am by no means progressive.

So you're reactionary?

Not being progressive does not make one a reactionary.

It does to a progressive. :^)

Kill me now.

If you're not progressive and not conservative, however, you must support regression. I would say that conservatism is generally manifested as support for the status quo, progressivism for progress, and reactionarism for regression, though the labels are frequently interchanged.

And there are people who classify as none of them nor do they fit into those terms even if they do classify as one of those very commonly.

I don't see how a political person would be able to fit into none of these, and an apolitical one would be tacitly supporting whatever group is in office.

When it comes to social issues, I believe in true egalitarianism, which can only be achieved by abolishing capitalism.

[Firaxin]

So, I take it people here don't like religion?

Well, you are left wing.

The left is defined as valuing equality in no way does that conflict with religion. Most of time it also refers to all ideologies under socialism, which also doesn't necessarily conflict with religion.

[The Liberated Territories]

I am not a huge fan of religion, and yet most people here would consider me radically right wing.

[Torrocca]

I am not a huge fan of religion, and yet most people here would consider me radically right wing.

And why's that?

[The Liberated Territories]

I am not a huge fan of religion, and yet most people here would consider me radically right wing.

And why's that?

Nothing has convinced me that a god or any other deity exists. I flirted with deism but the concept of a personal god too was spurious, why call it god if it differs for every individual?

You're not considered "radically right wing" until you have a fetish for generalissimo's.

[Torrocca]

And why's that?

Oh, no, I didn't mean that part. I was asking why people here would consider you radically right-wing.

Come now, historically the generalissimo fetish has been part and parcel with militant catholicism, bit hard to get there without it.

Hmmm, that's not radical at all though.
